In trials over the past 2 years, Sweet Potato 'Carolina Ruby' has shown improved vigour and more reliability in producing a crop of sweet potato tubers than 'Georgia Jet'. Tubers have a bright, ruby-red skin with a deliciously rich-flavoured orange flesh and are superb for baking, wedges and mash. This increasingly popular vegetable is well worth trying outdoors in milder areas. In colder areas they make excellent crops for a glasshouse or polytunnel. Spread: up to 3m (9').

Sweet potatoes are becoming increasingly popular. The delicious tubers are nutritious and versatile, whether baked, mashed or made into chunky wedges! Grow sweet potatoes outdoors in milder areas, or in colder areas they make excellent crops for a glasshouse or polytunnel. Sweet Potato 'Duo' includes the popular variety 'Beauregard Improved' and new variety 'Carolina Ruby'. Spread: up to 3m (9').

Introduced from a virus free clone, Sweet Potato 'Beauregard Improved' has been phenomenally popular as it is similar to the tubers on supermarket shelves. Tubers tend to be smaller Sweet Potato 'T65' but have the same distinctive salmon-orange flesh with a sweeter more pronounced flavour. Spread: up to 3m (9').
